US EditionEnergy bills set for series of falls as price cap due to be lowered, says forecaster
- Energy bills for typical households in England, Scotland, and Wales will fall by around 7% to £1,720 annually starting in July 2025 as Ofgem lowers the price cap.
- This reduction follows three consecutive price cap increases and is influenced by easing trade tensions and changes in wholesale energy costs, though risks remain due to global instability.
- Cornwall Insight forecasts further modest decreases in the price cap throughout autumn 2025 and early 2026, while noting the price cap limits unit costs but not total energy consumption bills.
- Dr Craig Lowrey from Cornwall Insight described the reduction in the price cap as a positive change that will provide some relief to families after an extended time of elevated energy prices.
- Despite expected price falls, many households still face high energy costs amid a cost-of-living crisis, and price volatility suggests affordability risks remain significant going forward.
